Aristotales

This is the head from a statue of the Greek philosopher Aristotle. It dates to the first century AD. It is suspected to be a replica of a bronze statue from the Hellenistic Age. The realism of the head is what leads to the belief that the original is from the Hellenistic Age. The receding hair line, the wrinkles on the forehead, and the thinness of the face all contribute to the realness of it, rather than the idealism of the past.
